How great to have backgrounds done ahead of time!
A couple of posts ago I explained how I had never used my gel plate and that Jennifer McGuire got me hooked.
This was another gel plate background.
The base card is white card stock.
On more white card stock I did a gel plate print by inking up the gel plate with Distress Oxide blueprint sketch, mermaid lagoon and tumbled glass inks, then braying them.
I had previously die cut a bunch of snowflakes using Lawn Fawn’s “Stitched Snowflake Dies” and placed them on the inks gel plate.
Now I made the print and let it dry.
(For more detailed instructions check out Jennifer McGuire’s YouTube videos on using a gel plate)
Once dry I die cut the gel plate panel with a die from MFT Die-namics “Stitched Arch STAX” applied it to the card front and stamped the sentiment from Sunny Studios “Victorian Christmas” using Distress Oxide chipped sapphire.
With blue card stock I cut out three reindeer using Tim Holtz “Reindeer Flight” die and gluing them together before attaching the to the card front.
